My favorite drug store brand would be Wet n' Wild eyeshadows. Surprisingly pigmented.

I absolutely love the Milani brand. Their baked bronzer and their Jewel FX nail polishes are absolutely amazing. NYX also has amaaaazing eyeshadows as well.

Jen C. My Wet n' Wild shadows don't really show on me for some strange reason. But I do love the pencils. I love the shadows too though and continue to buy them because I know I'm more than likely doing something wrong with the application and will learn just how to make their colors POP on my skin tone. But they are a great bang for your buck!

@ Mandy, I have a loose glittery eyeshadow from Hard Candy that I really love.
@Karita, Do you use a primer with it? I had a WnW pencil that I just picked up and forgot about. I used it a few days ago and was surprised that it worked really well for a drugstore pencil. WnW definitely impresses me!

If you want a Matte Bronzer (esp. good for contouring) N.Y.C. Sunny Bronzer is really nice and matte, versus others that have a shimmer to it.

I second L'Oreal Volumnious Mascara (Carbor Black of course) or their Telescopic Mascara (which is just as awesome!)

I agree with W'nW becaues for a trio it's about $2.99, then there is their 6 pieces for $4.99 or so, or their 8 piece shadows for a little more. And they are highly pigmented! =)

EcoTools for brushes
CeraVe for a really good skincare line (that are dupes to department store brands!)
Rimmel's "Airy Fairy" Lipstick
NYX "Chaos" jumbo lip pencil
NYX "Black Bean" and "Milk" jumbo pencils

This is just to name a few!

@ Jen i do use the primer with it. But I must admit, sometimes I don't think I put enough primer on my brow. Because of my dark complexion, I think it would be too loud and clash with my eyeshadow. So I go real easy with it more than likely not putting enough on there. Would a white pencil or a white base help?

Ahh yes I forgot to mention the Revlon Colorburst lipsticks/lip glosses! Those are sooo amazing, definitely on par with the MAC lipsticks & lip glosses.

I love Maybelline's color sensational lipsticks, as well as their mascaras.
I love wet n wild's eyeshadows, and they also have some nice lipsticks.
Rimmel's eyeshadows are ok, but I love their lipsticks, eye khols, and mascaras.
For Revlon I love their colorstay foundation, the just bitten lipstains, and their nail polishes.

Anything from ELF is definitely on the top of my list of must-haves from drug stores. I have been using the same foundation since high school which is the Loreal True Match liquid foundation-I don't think I could live without a bottle or two always handy. Then there is the Maybelline Falsies mascara-ABSOLUTELY amazing! On a side note, here's the very strange realization I've made throughout my years of obsessive shopping. Sometimes in comparison to drugstores, Ulta will have much better deals and discounts on "drugstore" makeup. Just something that comes in handy whenever I look at my wallet and shed a tear!

@Karita, I'm very fair, but have friends with darker skin who actually have gotten me to use white pencil under my brow and blend it in. It creates a nice highlight under my shadow. You might also try a liquid shadow. Before I used primer I used a liquid or cream shadow as a base. It worked well.

I like to experiment with Japanese/Korean products. They're usually cheap(ish) and work a treat.
